Landslide and fallen trees have blocked a road connecting Pameungpuk area and Garut regency in West Java following heavy rain a day earlier.

Landslides have also hit village areas in Cihurip district and railway tracks.

Antara reported that local district chief Teten Sundara led local administration officers and residents Friday to manually open the road wail waiting for heavy machinery from the provincial office.

Rainwater has also flooded a number of roads in Garut city area.
